LOCOMOTIVE-TENDER COAL-GATE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that ,L ARfiHUR E. iBiEAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at (E reenville, in the county of Mercer and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Loco-.

'niotive-Tender Coal-"Gates,- of which the following is a specification.

The present inventlon 'appertalns to a coal gate for locomotive tenders, and aims to 'types'of coal gates, and which will be of such unique construc'tion as to render it 1 simple, convenient, practical and efficient, in

use, as well as providing a gate of simple,

' substantial, unencumbered and inexpensive construction.

Some of the ObJ'QCUOIIal characteristics of common or prevailing types of coal gates employed in locomotive tenders, are itemized as follows :-.the difliculty of raising orremoving a rigid type of gate; the liability of losing a detachable gate; the difficulty with certaingates, of dragging coal within reach of the firemans scoop; the liability of certain gates to break, in case. of a wreck, collision or quick stop, due to the momentum of the coal, thus causing the coal to surge forward onto the deck'of the tender and ,engine, to the injury of the enginemen or pre venting their escape the lack of means in some types of-.gates'for controlling or clos ing the opening below the gate for the .coal to feed through, whereby the coal i'sfed in excessive quantities onto; the tender,- deck, due to the vibration of the tenderor for other causes, and thereby either causin the coalbeing, lost oif the sides of the dec or causing the steps and deck to be covered more or less with chunks of coal which not infrequently resultsin the injury of theenginemen due to-slipping or misr'stepping; the liability, with ,the pantograph type of gate, of the enginemens fingers being cut off between the links when raising'the gate; andv the difficulty of opera-ting'the. doors or shut} Specification of Letters Patent. 1 Application filed January 15, 1914.

tersof'certain gates controlling the of 1 coal to the shovel space. I 7 The present invention aimsto remedyft'l ie above and other defects in presentvdaycolal gates, by the provision of an improved structure, which is also of advan't'agei ni.

scribed, it being understood, that changes in the precise embodiment illustrated, may, be made, in adapting the gate to various te'nders, within the scope of What is claimed, without departing from the spirit" of the inventionf J The invention has been illustrated in its preferred embodiment in the accompanying drawings, whereinr Figure 1 is a front'view of the body of a locomotive tender having the improved gate Fig. 21s .av section taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3. is a section taken irthe lines-30f Fig. 1 the. upper doors being swung open. Figs. 4,5

and 6' are enlarged sectional details taken on the lines 4+ l, and 6- -6. of Fig. 1,

I respectively.

' In the drawings, the numeral 1 designates an ordinary locomotive tender body, which may be taken as typical. The lfiod'yembodies the forward tank portions. 2 having the gateway or-passage 3' therebetween, and over which the usual -coal bo-aiflb'r wall 4Iismounted; the coal board or wall that ing an opening aboye the gateway or'pissage 3, and cooperatmg therewithtoforin the door or gate opening leading'to the'coal bin 6. A reinforcing ole-at or strip 7 is pref-f erably riveted to the front side'of the coal board 4 over the opening 5. The nunre'r'alQS designates the usualdeck or shoveling space In carrying out the present, invention, a

pair.ofupright angle iron cleats orjpostts 9 .have certain of their flangesriveted'for otherwise secured to 'the s'ides of the gateway or opening, or to the adjacent "sidesfof the tank portions 2, that their other to receive the latch.

flanges are free and project toward each other, the cleats or posts 9 extending from the deck or fioor'8 to the upper end of the gate opening along the sides or edges of the said opening.

A pair of upper sheet metal doors 10 and 11 and a pair of lower sheet metal doors 12 and 13 have their remote edges hinged to the free flanges of the posts 9 by means of hinges 14 having their leaves riveted to the rear sides or backs of the said flanges and doors.- The doors are arranged to swing open rearwardly or inwardly, as suggested in Fig. 3, and when the doors areclosed, close totheir free edges come relativel gether. The upper and lower oors,-however, are spaced apart to provide an opening therehetween of several inches in height, but not sufficiently large to permit the coal to flow freely therethrough. The upper ends of the upper doors are arranged to contact with or overlap the coal board 4 when they are closed. A pair of depending or endant stops or stop plates 15 are rivete to the back of the upper doors 10 and 11 at the'r lower ends, so that the free or lower en s of the stops contact with or overlap the up per end portions of the lower doors. A latch 16 is ivoted to the forward side of the upper diior 11 at its free edge, and is arranged to swing into engagement with a keeper 1? secured to the forward side of the upper door 10' at its free edge, when the doors 10 and 11 areclosed. The latch and keeper are preferably bent from bars, the free end of the latch being bent angularly to form a handle, and the keeper having its lower end riveted or otherwise secured to the door 10 and having its upper end ofiset Eye bolts 18 are engaged to the backs of the upper doors 10 and 11 at the uppe'rends of the said-doors, and stay chains 19 are anchored or attached to the coal board or partition 4 at the sides of the gate opening and have hooks 20 at their free ends to engage the eyes l8 when the doors 10 and 11 are opened, asseen in,

Fig. 3, to hold the said doors open. Each of the upper doors l0 and 11 are provided with a pair of adjoining openings 21at their central portions, which are sufficiently large, to permit of the introduction of coal bars therethrough.

A latch 22, similar to the latch 16, is p'ivoted to the front side of the door 10 at its lower end, so that the free end of'the latch 22 can. be swung or engaged over the front side of the lower door 12.

A latch bar 23 of angle iron has one flange pivoted at one end to the front side of the lower door 13 intermediate its edges and ad joining its upper end, and a horizontal keeper 2 1, similar to the keeper 17, is secured to the front side of the lower door 12 intermediate its edges: and; adjoining its mentioned flange having an opening or slot 26 therein forming a hand hold.

A leaf spring or yieldable catch 27 has its butt end riveted, together with' a spacing block 28, to the front side of the upper door 11, so that the free end of the latch bar 23 may swing in back of the free end or tip of the spring or catch 27 the free end of the spring being curved or bent, as at 29, to frictionalh receive and hold thelatch bar. Thus, un er certain conditions, the latch bar 23 may be swung upward to engage the upper door 11 for locking the superposed doors 11 and 13 together. The lower doors 12 and 13 have their lower free corners cut away, as at 30, whereby the said cut away portions cooperate to form a coal or shoveling opening leading under the gate from the bin to the shoveling deck 8.

To control the coal opening 30-30, a pair of auxiliary doors or shutters 31 are pivoted, as at 32, at certain corners to the 'front sides oft-he lower doors 12 and 13 at the-sides of the opening and at the lower ends of the said doors. The shutter or valve doors 31 are of pentagonal contour and when the shutter doors are closed a pair of their sides swing together, as at 33, it being understood that the shutter doors swing along or adjoiningthe faces or front sides of the main doors 12 and 13; Those sides 34 of the shutter doors 31 opposite the pivoted corners,

or next above'the sides 33, diverge and are curved so as to engage and work within arcuate guides 35 curved about the pivots 32 as centers, and having their upper edges riveted to the faces of the doors 12 and 13,

with their lower edge portions offset to receive the sides or edge portions 34 ot' the doors 31. The guides 35 extend from the free to the pivoted edges of the main doors The other flange of 12 and 13, to thereby permit the shutter doors to swing open, the sides 36 of the shutter doors enabling the same to swing sufliciently over the pivots to overbalance and to clear the coal; opening 30-30. The remote sides 37 of the doors 31 are arranged to strike stops 38 secured to the lower pivoted corners of the doors 12 andf13 when the doors 31 areswung open, soithat the doors 31 will be held open by their own weights, the doors 31 swinging over'the'pivots 32,

"in opening and closing, so, as to bring the centers of gravity to the respect ve sides of the pivots for holding the. said"doors'eit=lrer closed or open. The pivots 32 are arranged midway. between the edges ofjthe doors-'12 fioor 8 to support the doors 31 when closed.

To brace or reinforce the shutter doors 31,

angle iron members or ribs 41 are riveted to the front faces of the same at points spaced from the pivots 32, and extend from those portions between the sides or edges 33 and 39 covering the opening -30, to the opposite portions'which overlap the main doors, so that the first mentioned portions will. be braced against the pressure of the coal bearing against the backs of the doors. In order to convenience the manipulation of the shutter doors, handles 42 are secured thereto between and parallel with certain of the reinforcing members 41.

In use, before the tender is filled with coal, all of the doors are closed, asseen in Fig. l, the lat-ch or locking bar 23 being engaged to the keepers 24 and 25,"the latch 16 being engaged to the keeper 17 ,and the latch 22 being engaged to the door 12. The

latch bar 23 locks the lower doors 12 and 13 firmly together; while the latches 16 and 22 hold the upper doors 10 and 11 closed prior to the filling of the tender; The tender is then supplied with coal to fill the bin G,.-the coal piling up against the doors of thegate structures. The latch bar 23 and its pivot and keepersefiectively brace the lower doors 12 and 13 against bulging for- Wardly, while the uppen ends of theupper doors in overlapping the coal board, and the steps 15 at the lower ends of the upper doors in overlapping or contacting with the lower doors, will steady the upper doors against the pressure of the coal. In this manner, the doors form a substantial barrier for holding the coal backfrom the deck, or for resisting the pressure of the coal, even in case of the great forward momentum of the coal in case of a quick stop or accident, such asawreck or collision.

When the coal is to be used, the pivot or shutter doors 31 are swung open as seen in dotted lines in Fig. 1, to release the coal through the coal opening 30-30, so that the ooalmay be readily shoveled or scooped from the deck 8. The doors 31 stay open by their own weight, as above intimated.

' 'It a; smaller supply of coal isdesi-red, only oneof the doors need be opened. To.

the lower door 13 open. The" lower "door'12 tionable for obvious reasons," Tl

and also by reaching through engthening between the upper andlower ddors ifitliitho bar. Then when the cfoalisout ofrea'chbf the poking bar and shovel o fsooo p', lja't'clies 1G and 22 are released, and ,the tip'per doors 1O and'll are thus liberated and mayf'beswung open, as seen'in Fig. 3, the upper doors being held open by fthe 's't-ay chains 19 which have their hooks;20 engligedftol the eye bolts 18 carried the backsof'tlie said doors.- Then, the coal maybe; reached, by a bar or other implemenn oventhelo-wei doors to dragthe coal to,tli e' coal ppe'ning 3030. When the coal c a11not":be 'rea cl'ifeg'l over the lower doors,'tl e [coal haviiig been consumed from the front'eiid of the the-lower doors 12 and l3 fare swung open below the opened upper doors 10 and 11, the latch bar 23 havingbeeii liftedout of engagementwith the keepers, 2l' 1a11d'f25; The latch bar 23 can then'be ward to be engaged at 'it's free end" by; 1135 catch 27 of the upper door. 11, "toj thiis lock may be held open by engagingtlie la: 1

might be accidentallyt-re'ad on to cause inloosen the coal from .the back of the same,

juries. The present device enables the gangway and steps to be kept clear of coal, tllLlS roviding safety for life and limb. There is no danger, when opening the pres ent gate, of the fireman getting his fingers caught, crushed or cut off, as sometimes happens with the pantograph type of gate.

The present device is economical in application and maintenance, and can be applied to old as well as new tenders.

The coal or shoveling opening may be readily closed, due to the fact that the shutter doors are pivoted and have relatively shar) edges, the doors 31 being constructed 0 sheet metal, so that the lower edges of the doors have a shearing or cut ting action against the coal, thereby cnabling the said doors to cut through the coal with comparative ease. tion of the doors 31 is also of considerable moment, for the several reasons hcreinhciliorc mentioned, it being further noted that thereini'orcing members or ribs 41 being disposed approximately parallel with the sides or edges of the saidv doors opposite the pivoted corners, or which engage the guides, will brace the lower corner portions of the said doors against bending for.- wardly under the pressure of the coal, when the said doors are closed, inasmuch as the reinforcing ribs or means extend from the said lower portions, which cover the coal opening, to the opposite portions, which overlap the lower hinged doors. The doors 31 engaging the guides will also assist in holding the doors 31 against the faces of the lower hinged doors.

Especial attention is directed to the fact that the remote ends of the cut-away portions 30 terminate approximately midway between the upright edges of the lower doors 12 and 13, and that the supplemental doors 31 are pivoted to the said lower doors adjacent the said ends of the cut-away por tions 30 and the lower ends of the said lower doors, whereby the pivoted doors 31 may swing open and closed in the peculiar manner above described. Thus, the pivoted doors 31 are held open and closed by their own weights, and are peculiarly adapted for opening and closing the shovel opening.

The present device also permits. ready access to the tender draw bar pin, for the reason that by closing the coal opening as above indicated, the coal can be held back from the deck, which, if it occurred, as under present day conditions, would necessitate coi-isiderable shoveling to uncover the draw bar pin.

The present gate has a practicallysmooth back against which the coal rests, whereby the coal may readily gravitate to the coal or shoveling opening. It is not necessary, as

usual, to pound or jar the doors or gate, to

The construcinasmuch as there are no projections on the back thereof upon which thecoal can lodge The present gate does not require raising or removal, as do the present rigid or sliding gates, to get at the coal, the present doors being readily swung open. The several parts of the present device cannot become accidentally detached and lost, as all parts are connected directly or indirectly to the tender. The present gate enables the coal to be easily brought within reach of the shovelcr or fireman, and the supply of coal through the gate may easily be controlled, as needed. There is no space between the gate and the coal board, thus preventing the coal from falling over the top of the gate.

The. present coal gate not having the above mei'itioned and other objectionable features, which exist in present gates, and being of advantages for the reasons above mentioned. and for other obvious reasons, i'ultils the purposes of its design, including sat ty to life and limb, convenience, durability, economy of application and maintenance, and. prevention of loss of fuel.
